Authorities say the toddler required surgery after being attacked by the dog.

Buffalo, NY -- A disturbing and violent attack leaves a toddler in serious condition at Women and Children's Hospital. Neighbors heard a mother screaming that her child was being raped.

Lockport Police received a 911 call from a frantic City of Lockport mother Sunday afternoon.Advertisement

The mother told Lockport Police that she left her two-year-old unattended for a short time and after hearing the baby scream, she ran to see what was wrong.

When she got in the room, she told Lockport Police the dog had sodomized the toddler. The mother screamed, scaring the dog and it ran out of the house.

One neighbor told 2 On Your Side, she heard the mother screaming "the dog is raping my baby." Neighbors ran to help, but only one man was able to get the dog and child apart.
Anastacio Castillo says "I tried to get the dog away from the baby, the dog was already inside the baby." When the baby was finally free, he was visibly sick.
The baby was rushed to Women and Children's Hospital where the toddler underwent reconstructive surgery.

The dog is being held at the Niagara County SPCA for evaluation. An animal behavior specialist is scheduled to evaluate the Pit Bull.

The Niagara County District Attorney's office is assisting Lockport Police with the investigation.

Miranda Workman, behavior specialist at Purrfect Paws in Amherst says, "Most likely this is not a learned behavior. Dogs intact, not spayed or neutered have a higher hormonal drive."
She urges parents to never, ever leave their children alone with a dog.

I buy a lot of things in life..but this story ...I refuse to swallow!! This story really made me sick to my stomach. I certainly hope the mother is under the jailhouse!!
It's far too many holes in that story.

1. Who in this Universe would leave a 2 year old baby alone with a pit-bull?

2. In order for anything to attack a baby like that, she had to be out of her clothes. Not to mention that someone had to hold the poor baby in a certain position for the dog to penetrate the child. A male dog in heat will 9 times out of 10 try to hump the childs leg. Can you teach a dog to strip a child?

3. There were two different stories in the write up about what happened!!

*A. The mother screamed, scaring the dog and it ran out of the house.

*B. Neighbors ran to help, but only one man was able to get the dog and child apart.

Let's not forget, ...a dog ain't gonn do, what a dog ain't taught ...except BITE!!
How did such a story make it to the papers? I say again, the mother should never see daylight again...smh

Hmm did this happen to a 2 year girl or boy? I thoght I read that it was a boy that got sodomized/raped by the dog. Not that it matters because it is equally sick and something that never should haver happened. I had a hard time reading this. I am also wondering now why this child was left alone with a dangerous dog. I am also wondering where the dog learned to behave like this. I hope a thorough investigation is done. This is one of the sickest things I have heard recently.
